Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived between 1756 and 1791. He was born in Salzburg; Austria in 1756. His family was a musical family. His father, Leopold was a composer and violin teacher. Young Mozart never went to school. Instead, his father taught him at home. Wolfgang was a child prodigy; at the age of five he composed a minuet, and played both the harpsichord and the violin. He performed for the Viennese Royal court when he was six years old. From the age of 7 to 10, Wolfgang and his older sister toured Europe, playing for kings, emperors, and other royalty. Mozart wrote his first symphony at nine years old. He was only twelve when he completed his first full opera. He gave a lot of concerts with his father and sister between the ages six and seventeen.
During his short but very productive life, Mozart wrote over 600 pieces, including symphonies, sonatas, concertos, operas, dance music, and masses. Some of his most famous pieces are Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (A Little Night Music, 1787) and the operas Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro, 1786), Don Giovanni (1787) and Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute, 1791).
Mozart died on December 5, 1791. He had been ill for some time, often with rheumatic fever. Because he was penniless when he died, Mozart was buried in a pauper’s grave in Vienna, Austria.
